**[United States](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [California](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/california) › [Joshua Tree](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/california/joshua-tree)**

You will have the entire 5 acre property to yourself surrounded by natural Mojave Desert landscape up on Copper Mountain Mesa in north Joshua Tree, elevation 2500 feet\. This provides expansive views in every direction with mountains all around\. Amazing blue skies fill the days while sunset brings painted pink clouds of artistic beauty\. At night the stars emerge like a million candles from another world\. I’ve dubbed the place Tranquility Base because it is quiet, serene and much like I imagine the moon to be\. It is a wide open, rugged spot of stark natural beauty\. You are not entirely alone, however\. Flora includes creosote bushes, desert senna, cactus and wildflowers all blooming beautiful colors in late winter and spring\. The fauna includes assorted roadrunners, jackrabbits, lizards and maybe the occasional coyote\. Evidence of snakes lay in the loose sand of the low washes but I have never seen one\. Guests must have an RV or camper van because you will need to bring everything you need, shade included\. This is primitive, dry camping with no restrooms\. Multiple vehicles are OK\. Guests are welcome to pitch a tent in one of the sandy areas but much of the surface is covered with rocks\. There is a concrete pad from a long gone homestead cabin that is great for tents, chairs and a bbq\. Cell service is 5G and solid with a new tower just down the road\. Tranquility Base is 17\.5 miles from the West \(Joshua Tree\) entrance to JTNP or about 10 miles northeast of Joshua Tree village center, much of it on unpaved roads which can be bumpy\. It is also only 21 miles to the North entrance \(Twentynine Palms\), which will save you time during the busy season as the lines to get in the Park are much shorter\. If you’re looking for a spot to relax and experience nature I hope you’ll give it a try\. I’d love to have you visit\. Thank you\.

We enjoyed looking at the snow capped mountains during the day and the pink distant mountains at sunset.  It's quiet, remote and away from the crowds of people visiting the park.  Ken was quick to respond to our booking request which we appreciated so we could promptly park on his property and get some much needed relaxation.  His \"T Base\" sign at the front of his property made it very easy to find."

It’s incredibly quiet, and the night sky is absolutely filled with stars. Ken was very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better. I brought my 20-ft RV, and while the drive in was a little bumpier than I would have liked, I was still able to get in and out with zero problems. Overall, a peaceful and relaxing spot I’d definitely return to."
